+ @subsection Scrolling During Incremental Search
+ 
+   Vertical scrolling during incremental search can be enabled by
+ setting the customizable variable @code{isearch-allow-scroll} to a
+ non-nil value.
+ 
+   You can then use the vertical scroll-bar or certain keyboard
+ commands such as @address@hidden (@code{scroll-down}),
+ @address@hidden (@code{scroll-up}) and @kbd{C-l} (@code{recenter})
+ within the search, thus letting you see more of the text near the
+ current match.  You must run these commands via their key sequences to
+ stay in the search - typing M-x @var{comand-name} will always
+ terminate a search.
+ 
+   You can give prefix arguments to these commands in the usual way.
+ The current match cannot be scrolled out of the window - this is
+ intentional.
+ 
+   Several other commands, such as @kbd{C-x 2}
+ (@code{split-window-vertically}) and @kbd{C-x ^}
+ (@code{enlarge-window}) which don't scroll the window, are
+ nevertheless made available under this rubric, since they are likewise
+ handy during a search.
+ 
+   For a list of commands which are configured as scrolling commands by
+ default and instructions on how thus to configure other commands, see
+ @ref{Configuring Scrolling}.

! @subsection Standard scrolling commands
! Here is the list of commands which are configured by default to be
! ``scrolling'' commands in an incremental search, together with their
! usual bindings:
! @subsubsection Commands which scroll the window:
! @table @asis
! @item @code{scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll} (@address@hidden@key{mouse-1}} in 
X-Windows)
! @itemx @code{mac-handle-scroll-bar-event} (@address@hidden@key{mouse-1}} on a 
Mac)
! @itemx @code{w32-handle-scroll-bar-event} (@address@hidden@key{mouse-1}} in 
MS-Windows)
! @item @code{recenter} (@kbd{C-l}) @xref{Scrolling}.
! @itemx @code{reposition-window} (@kbd{C-M-l}) @xref{Scrolling}.
! @itemx @code{scroll-up} (@address@hidden) @xref{Scrolling}.
! @itemx @code{scroll-down} (@address@hidden) @xref{Scrolling}.
! @end table
! 
! @subsubsection Commands which act on the other window:
! @table @asis
! @item @code{list-buffers} (@kbd{C-x C-b}) @xref{List Buffers}.
! @itemx @code{scroll-other-window} (@kbd{C-M-v}) @xref{Other Window}.
! @itemx @code{scroll-other-window-down} (@kbd{C-M-S-v}) @xref{Other Window}.
! @itemx @code{beginning-of-buffer-other-window} (@address@hidden)
! @itemx @code{end-of-buffer-other-window} (@address@hidden)
! @end table
! 
! @subsubsection Commands which change the window layout:
! @table @asis
! @item @code{delete-other-windows} (@kbd{C-x 1}) @xref{Change Window}.
! @itemx @code{balance-windows} (@kbd{C-x +}) @xref{Change Window}.
! @itemx @code{split-window-vertically} (@kbd{C-x 2}) @xref{Split Window}.
! @itemx @code{enlarge-window} (@kbd{C-x ^}) @xref{Change Window}.
! @end table
! 
! @subsection Configuring other commands as scrolling commands
! To do this, set a command's isearch-scroll property to the value t.
! For example:
! 
! @example
! @code{(put 'my-command 'isearch-scroll t)}
! @end example
! 
! You should only thus configure commands which are ``safe'': i.e., they
! won't leave emacs in an inconsistent state when executed within a
! search - that is to say, the following things may be changed by a
! command only temporarily, and must be restored before the command
! finishes:
! 
! @enumerate
! @item
! Point.
! @item
! The buffer contents.
! @item
! The selected window and selected frame.
! @item
! The current match-data @xref{Match Data,,,elisp}.
! @end enumerate
! 
! Additionally, the command must not delete the current window and must
! not itself attempt an incremental search.  It may, however, change the
! window's size, or create or delete other windows and frames.
! 
! Note that an attempt by a command to scroll the text
! @emph{horizontally} won't work, although it will do no harm - any such
! scrolling will be overriden and nullified by the display code.
